Controllers

Padrino provides generator support for quickly creating new controllers within
your Padrino application. Note that the controller tests are generated
specifically tailored towards the testing framework chosen during application
generation.

Very important to note that controller generators are intended primarily to work
within applications created through the Padrino application generator and that
follow Padrino conventions.

Using the controller generator is as simple as:

$ padrino g controller Admin

If you want create a controller for a specified sub app you can:

$ padrino g controller Admin -a my_sub_app

You can also specify desired actions to be added to your controller:

$ padrino g controller Admin get:index get:new post:create

The controller generator will then construct the controller file within
app/controllers/admin.rb and also a controller test file at
test/controllers/admin_controller_test.rb according to the test framework
chosen during app generation. A default route will also be generated mapping to
name of the controller and the route name. For example:
